The development team have now confirmed that the Warframe Harrow update launches at 5pm, EST, which is 10pm, BST for players in the UK.

The Warframe Chains of Harrow expansion goes live first on PC - PS4 and Xbox One do not have a current date - and includes the first stage of the planned graphical overhaul of the Solar System.

This new remastering of the game begins with Earth, which sees the first upgrade powered by Digital Extremes’ proprietary Evolution Engine.

The new Warframe is one of the biggest additions to the game, with Harrow wielding “priest-style powers and offers a terrifying new, lore-based quest”.

Harrow boasts four deadly abilities:

Condemn – Cast a wave of energy that chains them where they stand. Each enemy held reinforces Harrow’s shields.

Penance – Sacrifice shields to boost reload, and fire rate while converting damage inflicted on enemies into health for Harrow and nearby allies.

Thurible – Channel Harrow’s energy into the Thurible to generate a buff. The more energy channeled, the longer the buff will last. Once finished, kill enemies to bestow nearby allies with bursts of energy. Headshots produce extra energy.

Covenant – Protect nearby allies with an energy force that absorbs all damage and converts it to a Critical Chance bonus for all those under the Covenant. Headshots are amplified even further.

As mentioned above, a new quest line has also been added, here’s the official description: “With Chains of Harrow, Warframe players (AKA Tenno) will descend into a haunting new quest resembling a horror film.

“All is quiet except for whispers heard echoing throughout the lifeless craft. What does it all mean? Players must uncover the terrifying reality of what happened onboard, how the Red Veil might play a part in it, and more.”

Other changes confirmed in the Warframe Harrow update includes:

New Grineer Enemy: "Nox is a new enemy that is part of the Elite Chem Strike Unit. Nox wields a toxin-filled heavy gun that shoots blobs of toxic goo that attach themselves to targets before exploding.

"Take out these gruesome enemies by shooting their glass helmets and exposing their deteriorating skin. Beware of their final moments, as they explode into a lethal cloud."
